I do think that nothing will come of it...when it comes to super powers and its leaders whatever they do is always justified and for the better of mankind.

In my opinion the only time war criminals will be brought to justice is when they are part of a losing team...a lot like the end of WW2, the Germans were trialled over there atrocities towards humanity but there was no mention of the U.S dropping 2 atom bombs over cites in Japan while incinerating thousands of non-combatant men woman and children of all ages...So, where's the justice.

So what gives that kangaroo court any credibility?

Malaysia has not ratified the Rome statute for the ICC and looking at the list of signatories there are no Islamic countries that have ratified the rome statute yet they still want their own unofficial kangaroo court.
If you want to use the ICC then you have to sign the Rome Statute.

The Geneva conventions have not been ratified by Islamic countries so how can they claim war crimes when they dont even want ratify this convention,chopping Nick Bergs head off was a war crime,chopping the heads off prisoners is a war crime.

The Universal declaration of human rights was not ratified by any Islamic countries because it violates Islamic law, how does human rights violate religious laws?

They were found guilty in a kangaroo court, they have to sign the Rome statute if they want to take them to the ICC.

The Anzus treaty would have put us in Iraq and Afghanistan regardless of which party was leading the country at the time.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

They are making it known that they do not support the terrorism of the bush govt. Apparently (according to the article) Canada and switzerland want to do the same thing. Maybe even do it properly. That would be nice. Heh I doubt bush will be able to leave his country. SOB

Lol. If you had read it you would know. Actually my point in this case is that you didnt read it. You cant comment on it when you havent read it obviously because you get stuff wrong.

Not seeing much else "wrong" in the statement. Unless of course you think the fac I said "accused" rather than "convicted" is important....but surely not even you would be that stupid.

Heh now that you mention it he is convicted. In malaysia. It says in the article that they know this conviction is unenforceable but they can submit it to some committee or other. Dont remember. Read it and see. The point is that its a symbol. Bush is guilty.

Well you see that’s where it gets ambiguous and hypocritical.

You mention the US atomic bombs in Japan, but not London….or Berlin…or Dresden….or Tokyo.

Why?
